"There's not enough coffee in the world"

The expression “there’s not enough coffee in the world” does not refer to the world’s inventory of coffee. “There’s not enough coffee in the world” means that no amount of coffee—even with all of its caffeine—will get one through a morning or a task.

“I start about 5 am, and there is not enough Coffee in the world to keep you warm” was cited in print in 1999. “There’s not enough coffee in the world to keep a staff as busy as yours focused on firewall security 24/7” was a line in a 2001 magazine advertisement for data security. “Some mornings there’s just not enough coffee in the world” was cited in 2003.

“All the coffee in Colombia won’t make me a morning person” is a related saying.

Last night, I sat down (for maybe the third time over the last two days) to finish the Vintage socks, and I discovered a big problem. It is not a knitting problem, per se, but an emotional problem which has a knitting effect.
